Answer: a)
b)
Explanation:
A nuclear fission reaction is defined as the reaction in which a heavy nucleus splits into small nuclei along with release of energy.
a) The given reaction is
Now, as the mass on both reactant and product side must be equal:
Thus three neutrons are produced and nuclear equation will be:
b) For the another fission reaction:
To calculate A:
Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side
235 + 1 = A + 94 + 2
A = 140
To calculate Z:
Total atomic number on reactant side = total atomic number on product side
92 + 0 = 56 + Z + 0
Z = 36
As Krypton has atomic number of 36,Thus the nuclear equation will be :
